The rules for blocked punt and blocked field goal are the same so this issue about touching/possessing the ball is something that comes up from time to time and the players have to be coached about probable outcomes. CPJ's initial reaction (get away from it) was correct and the later decision by...

Really good show tonight. CPJ was loose and offered some good perspectives. He did get a little "testy" on a question about a short passing game. He claimed we had one. On this answer I give him a "F". Our short passing game is still characterized by deep drops, slow developing routes, and too...

Taking the family to Disneyland and will miss the VT game. Will give away one seat in section 216 row 10. PM me and I will mail it to you.

Just based on percentages of field goals returned vs those blocked it is more likely that personnel will not change. Coaching awareness may get a step up in emphasis.

If #3 is not pushed out of bounds it is illegal participation penalty making the play off-setting penalties and a re-kick where we would expect to get the ball on the 25.

There was a play nobody has mentioned that cost us probably 25-4=21 yards. There was a kickoff returned by MLD up past the 40 yard line. A block in the back penalty at the 8 moved us back to the four. What was missed was the tackle by FSU player #3. HE CAME FROM OUT OF BOUNDS TO MAKE THE PLAY. I...

After the long pause of open mouth silence most FSU fans were gracious and congratulatory...extremely well behaved.

The "never quit" is the team asset I am most proud of. It starts with the coaching.

I was near the 250 FSU band members in the north stands upper. They were 15 rows above me and 1.5 sections to my left. They were not much of a noise factor compared to the overall stadium noise.

I agree with your points except we will have the speed by adding Cottrell, Benson, Walker, T Marshall, and Philpott.

I liked the change of not having to hear that band announcer scream into the microphone.

PJ went down in the game but later came back in. Someone on this forum reported that Kagawa had a serious leg injury and was carried to the locker room after the game??? Smith also left the game shook up.

Four FSU fans came in mid first Q (tickets given from GT friends in the GT season ticket section next to me) and were very pleasant. They were very respectful of GT and GT football and talked on and on about all the recent close games. The fellow beside me insisted the game would go down to the...

It seems both twins can play all 5 DB positions fairly well and give us great depth. I am not sure whether we have better starters but it seems when both Austins are on the field, one or both are in on a lot of action. They give you a lot of hustle and effort.

Seems like Gray got a lick in the back, maybe a kidney bruise. Kagawa played that MLB slot in the 3 man alignment in the fourth Q as Gray did not come back. I like that scheme in obvious passing downs, and especially using Gray in that situation. I would have preferred someone to dog Cook...

From my high vantage point in the north stands I thought I saw Milton push the player after the play was over (I did not see the whole thing in real time) but my wife and daughter who had a different look on TV disagreed with me. I rewatched the game and clearly saw the FSU player straddled...

When you look at the ending of all the tackles it is quite common to see Freeman and PJ Davis on the pile. Tonight there were a lot of plays with an Austin or two on the pile. In addition to Gotsis I thought Golden got himself in good position on a lot of plays. It was a really good defensive...

I witnessed some good AB blocks on the perimeter but the timing was off, especially those from MLD. The defender was assaulted quite hard but he had time to regroup and get in on, or make, the tackle. I agree that a little more AB speed would make a difference but also our timing was off on many...

I thought besides Gotsis that Golden played very well. We also got a lot of hits from the Austins . This was the best defense we have played in two years IMO. Lots of hustle and multiple hits. Did you notice that Gray was our MLB when we were in the 3 man line?

Pitt had the perfect O plan....keep 7 and 8 in the box to pass block (and discourage or negate any blitz attempts) and use their superior receivers to beat our "average cover" DBs while giving the QB lots of time to find his open play without pressuring him into making mistakes. Through in a mix...
